如何将这些硬编码的单元格引用更改为动态引用？

Question

I have this spreadsheet:

and I have the following formula, which gets me exactly the results I need:

The problem I have is with the cell references being hard coded. I need it all to be dynamic, because the information I'm targeting is based on the date. Today I need the information in rows 23-28. tomorrow it could be rows 5-10 or rows 30-40.

How can I look through the entire column A to find today's date, and then display only the rows of information pertaining to that date? I can do it with hard-coded row numbers, but I can't figure out how to do this with dynamic row numbers.

Answer 1

Use this formula (it's a regular formula, no need for array entry):

=IF(ROW(A1)-1>=IFERROR(MATCH("*day",INDEX($A:$A,MATCH(TEXT(TODAY(),"m/dd")&"*",$A:$A,0)+1):$A$65000,0),IFERROR(MATCH(REPT("z",255),INDEX($A:$A,MATCH(TEXT(TODAY(),"m/dd")&"*",$A:$A,0)+1):$A$65000)+1,MATCH(2^999,INDEX($A:$A,MATCH(TEXT(TODAY(),"m/dd")&"*",$A:$A,0)+1):$A$65000)+1)),"",INDEX(A:A,MATCH(TEXT(TODAY(),"m/dd")&"*",$A:$A,0)+ROW(A1)-1))

Then copy over and down to get all of your data. Format the cells containing the formula with this custom format code: General;General;;@ so that returns that should be blank are blank instead of 0s.

Answer 2

Get the row references first as helpers and then change your current formula using INDIRECT

=INDEX(INDIRECT("A" & $K$19):INDIRECT("A" & $K$20)...

Where K19 and K20 are the cells where you have the formula which finds you the row number of today and not tomorrow.

You could put the formula to find the row numbers in instead of the reference like

=INDEX(INDIRECT("A" & FormulaFirstToday):INDIRECT("A" & FormulaLastToday)...
